About Jyotsana

Jyotsana Gilmore is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with more than 11 years of professional experience. She draws on work done in both India and the UK to support people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She offers a calm space where people can talk about difficult feelings without judgment.

She commonly helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem and motivation. She also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy-related worries, sleeping and eating difficulties, and problems linked to addiction. Money and financial issues are included among the concerns she works with.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions are used to talk through what matters most, spot unhelpful patterns, and practise new reactions that feel more manageable. She uses methods that help people notice their values and make small practical changes in daily life.

With experience across two countries, she combines an awareness of different cultural perspectives with practical tools. She aims to make therapy feel relevant to everyday life and to each person’s priorities. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she encourages people to come as they are.

Her credentials include membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and NCPS. People who want to begin are invited to follow the service start process and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages identifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and offers practical steps to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build new habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and daily life. This is a team effort where preferences and practical needs shape the plan.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm what is offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in on a work break. Some formats also make it simpler to have sessions without being on camera or to use less internet bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and behaviour plans to an online setting so the work remains practical and focused on everyday change.
